Default 240l

Hi ,

here is a new harscape , the tank is 240L , 120*45*45cm ,the plantation has just been finished so it's gonna need a bit of time .
i'm not really satisfied with the hardscape it seems to be a bit unbalanced , the right part seems to be too low compared to the left part , i'll have to see how it looks with the complete plantation but there will certainly be some changes , the stem part should be heavy in the right and light in the left to help to balance the hardscape , the background will mainly be in myrio matogrossense , with a bit of red (rotala indica and arcuata narrow leaf) .Stones are only here for the wood not to float , i'll remove them as soon as possible .

plantation is , glossostigma , eleocharis bellem , eleocharis parvula , eleocharis acicularis , crypto parva , crypto wendtii green , tenellus , fantanalis sp , vesicularia sp , microcrosorum narrow , bolbitis , myrio matogrossense , rotala indica , ludwigia arcuata narrow leaf , eleocharis vivipara , hygrophilia sp and maybe some vallisneria nana .

specs:240L , 120*45*45cm , lights 144W , co2 pressurized , eheim 2028 ,2078 all in biological filtration , aquasoil (+power sand+tourmalineBC etc...),fets step 1 , brighty K .







i'll update soon , hope you like it

Magnificent that looks textbook quality in the making. Is that mangrove root?

Nice piece of wood. With a nice background of stemmies this will be fabulous when it grows in. My only suggestion would be to move it a bit off-center and angle it more. Ideally you'd have a single large open space somewhere instead of open space at each side. That's just me though. Maybe you could move it right a couple of inches and move the large knobby part at the right back a bit.

Thank you for your comments

BryceM ,i understand what you mean , i kind of feel the same , the empty right part bothers me , i am expecting for the plantation to fill the space there, like it is now it does look like the wood is too centered though ...i hope it will do it

here are a few more pictures , it is growing very slowly , still , i have time
